NV Specialties Carbon Radiator Cover

[JRedMKV]

Hey guys, do any of you run this or any of the similar ones from other brands? I am interested in it but kind of wonder if the carbon will cause any issues for the radiator? Could it prevent the radiator from cooling properly like the OEM metal one? Let me know what you think. Thanks!

I installed this last spring. It looks awesome and is an exact fit to the OEM. I have had no problems with cooling and put about 2500 miles on it. Installation is a little tedious due to the accessibility of two of the bumper fasteners. Nothing small open end wrenches couldn't solve. Overall not a bad do it yourself.

That’s good to know! Yeah that looks great and we have the same color car too so I know it will look awesome! Thanks for the heads up on the installation. I asked NV Specialties about that and they recommended crows foot wrenches so I’ll pick up some of those.

Crows feet would work best. Thats good they recommended that. I was able to get an offset open end on them but crows feet would have been best. Have fun!

Yeah, even with the crow wrenches it’s a pain. Since you have to loosen it from an angle facing upwards and and praying you don’t strip it off. Took a while.. Pulling the plastic rivet clips was the biggest pain in the ass for me.
